No. 4 PEASANT LEADING A COW HV ANTON MAUVE No. 4ANTON MAUVE Dutch 1838—1888 PEASANT LEADING A COW Height, 14% inches; length, 20 inches ft \ On a light but sunless day, the sunshine screened by all-prevailinggray, vaporous clouds, a Dutch boy in patched trousers and sabots isleading a Holstein cow along a rutted farm-road, between cultivatedfields where green growths appear above the dull brown earth. Theboy and his charge are close in the foreground, the cow lowering herhead toward the roadside grass, coming toward the spectator. Amass of low trees bounds the distance on the right, and toward theleft—beyond a single distant church that rises against the horizon—all is flat land as far as eye can see. Signed at the lozcer right, A. Mauve. From the collection of L. Somzee, Brussels, who bought it direct from the artistin 1885. Purchased from M. Kxoedler & Co., New York.

No. 5DORDRECHT BY JAKOB MARIS No. 5 JAKOB MAIMS , / Dutch 1838—1899 1 DORDRECHT Height, 15y± inches; length, 23% inches A clear blue sky is largely screened from view by full, expansivemasses of light gray and creamy-white cumuli which hang in a still air.The foreground of water extending across the picture is burdenedwith heavy sailboats—none of their canvas being visible—whose barepoles rise against the sky above the tops of the town buildings beforewhich they are seen. The reflections of boats and buildings enrichthe water with deep notes of color, while the blue, and the white clouds,of the sky, brighten it. At the left, on the land, what appears to bethe large, grayish-white pile of a cathedral overtowers the other build-ings of the city. Signed at the lower right, J. Maris. From the collection of Judge Samuel L. Bronson. Purchased from M. Kxokdi.hk & Co., New York. <
